@@Truecrimecommunity Whatever son. I have probably taken more risks than you and I have truly lived- more than most. I have ridden a motorcycle over 20 years. I have jumped off of cliffs on skis in Colorado (Vail.) Yes, I have the video. I have ridden mountain bikes, and yes, I have hiked our West and done some rock climbing (Yosemite, CA, Death Valley, CA and Moab, UT.) I am not sure what you find so humorous about that? I also have a friend who is now bedridden for life after a motorcycle crash. I also got a mTBI. I am not saying not to have fun, but be aware of the risks and limit them, or don't. When people throw all caution to the wind and make numerous dumb decisions, it catches up to them. It is as simple as that. Only then will they realize that the short lived thrill and social approval, was not worth it. All those supportive friends disappear when you get hurt- at least most do. I disagree that life is short. When you are in daily, chronic pain, it can feel quite long. Laugh at me now, but one day, you will likely learn this lesson.

This trail definitely will be on my bucket list. So incredibly beautiful, almost unreal! The color of the water is insanely blue. Thank you for sharing. Another great video…great job!

Beautiful trail and footage of the hike. Friendly tip to travelers: To preserve the pristine waters and environment do not abandon trash or contaminate the environment through the wear of commercial goods like bug spray and sunscreen. If needed, use organic bug repellant recipes (like citronella oil based repellant) and wear sun protective clothing (hats, sunglasses, gloves, thin long sleeve shirts) over sunscreen. To give honor back to the local Hopi tribe, the ancestral stewards of these beautiful lands, please donate to a local Hopi-focused community preservation/enrichment project, Hopi charity organizations/events, or consciously shop at Hopi-owned businesses in the area.

I agree! Let's preserve lands for the indigenous people! Next time you visit my homeland--England--please do not buy anything from anyone who does not have super white skin and an anglophone name. We Anglo-Saxons have as much claim to our ancestral homelands as the Hopi have to theirs. Let's return all lands to the native, indigenous people. Beautiful idea!

Just breathtaking!Literally brought me to tears,nature is awesome. Just a by line 10-12 yrs ago I drove to Lake Havaseau(sp) from Palms Springs,Ca and there was a stretch along the road,where I saw the Colorado River and water was also that color blue.amazing!11

saw the thumbnail and instantly had memories of many small rivers feeding the colorado. it's been over 25yrs since i was there, so glad you had it all to yourselves

Thank you for doing this. We gave this trail a go and had the same experience you did the first time. We are definitely going to prepare better and do it again. 💪🏼💪🏼

Excellent hike and video; that water, the blue is amazing 😎😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👌

Awesome spot! I did the raft trip 25yrs ago and hiked up from the bottom to another incredible spot on the little Colorado that was deep and you could dive off the surrounding rocks into the pools! Not to many people will ever experience this place

We just got back and I want to thank you for this video. It was super helpful for planning and setting expectations. For sure the most intense, treacherous and unforgiving hike I have ever done but absolutely rewarding. We decided to camp up a bit higher and day hike down to the LCR. It saved us some hiking the day we hiked out. I also found it to be buggy down near the water (mosquitos and some biting flies..we were there in October). Also the researchers seemed to have the high ground/shaded camping areas so only beach camping seemed to be available. We filtered water from the stream that was to the right of the helipad (facing the water) and it was less brackish than the LCR water…still wouldn’t want to drink a lot of it as it definitely has some salt in it but it did the job for cooking and getting us out. Keep on adventuring!!

Reminds me of going to Supai Falls, has similar pools and waterfalls. But its a much easier hike on a well maintained trail or taking horses is another option. Also lots more visitors to Supai.

This hike to Little Colorado is too much for me (57 and 4 spine surgeries), however, I am doing a motorized rafting trip down the GC next year, so I will get to play in these falls. I hope they are this blue while I am down there.

Hey Kevin, thank you for this! It's really beautiful and really well done! Just a couple questions for you.. did you just go recently? Because I wanted to know what months the water would be the bluest. (I've read that fall is really good too also)... obviously the hike up seems to be the worst part, but I've read things saying just how sketchy the terrain is, but from your footage, I didn't see anything that seemed incredibly sketchy - just your basic kind of scrambling...(though I know the pack makes it that much harder.) I did Grand Canyon, rim to rim, a couple years back, and it's obviously the ascent that's the hardest part, so I just wanted your honest thoughts about the hardest element of the whole thing. Thank you so much for your time!

We just got back. The hike down was worse. Lots of loose rock so with a 50 lb pack you need to be super careful. The hike up took as the same amount of time down. We camped in a wash about 2.7 miles down so we day packed to the LCR. Hiking back up to our campsite during the heat of the day was horrible so I also recommend beating the direct sun (we hiked in at first light and started hiking out by headlamp). Hope that helps

Beautiful spot and hike! Glad this popped up for me. How bad were your water filters after?

Thank you for making this video. I subscribed to you guys because your videos are very informative. You answered most of my questions. The only questions i have left is when do you know when the water are blue, and not brown? Is there a certain months to go for the blue color? Thank you.
